Outside the city of Chuzhou, since the Song army entered the whole line of defense, the 600,000 Jiangbei army led by Li Qing, the king of Yan, has not moved at all, and has been strengthening training, the reason why this is also the case, after all, the Xia army lost a lot in the last war, and now the loss of men and horses is replenished, but the combat effectiveness of the Xia army is declining greatly, in addition, there are so many large armies on the front line, grain, grass and ammunition need to be transported from the rear, and now the rest is for a better attack in the future.
"Kill, kill, kill" Li Qing rode through the camp on a war horse, and the soldiers of the Xia army were training in full swing After Li Qing returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, he sat on the handsome chair and just drank a sip of tea, when a general came in and reported: "Lord, His Royal Highness King Liang has sent a letter that the 200,000 troops of the Yuzhou Army have arrived at the designated position, all the artillery, missiles and gunpowder have been delivered, and the food is enough for the army for seven days. ” "Order the army to assemble and attack the Song army's defense line tomorrow, this time we must fight fiercely, give all the ammunition to Lao Tzu, and we can't let the Song army be able to send troops to the western front for reinforcements."
Li Qing immediately ordered.
"Yes, the last general will receive the order" Xia Jiang immediately received the order.
"Chuan Yanshu came to see this king."
Li Qing continued.
"Yes, Lord Wang" Yan Shu soon came to Li Qing's side, and after Li Qing saw Yan Shu, he said, "Do you know what you have done?"
"The last general understands," Yan Shu said as he knelt on the ground.
Li Qing sat back on the handsome chair and said: "This king will give you a chance to atone for your crimes, and this king will give you an army of 100,000 to attack Yangzhou under the banner of an army of 200,000, and you must take Yangzhou City within three days, otherwise you will be punished for both crimes; Do you dare to take orders?"
Yan Shu said with a very firm eye: "The last general is ordered, if you can't take Yangzhou within three days, the last general will dare to be a military lawyer." ” "Okay, tomorrow you will lead the army and set off," Li Qing said to Yan Shu.
"Yes, the last general obeys," Yan Shu said after receiving the military order.
After leaving Li Qing's Chinese army tent, Yan Shu said to himself: "The general's opportunity has finally come, and this time I will definitely avenge the dead brothers." ” Not long after Yan Shu left, Zhao Ge came to Li Qing's Chinese army tent and said, "Lord Wang, you are looking for the last general." ” "I'll give you a task, tomorrow I will lead 50,000 troops to leave the camp under the banner of the Yuzhou Army and march towards Luzhou."
Yan King Li Qing said to Zhao Ge.
"Lord Wang, if the last general leaves, there will be no one else around you, how can this work."
Zhao Ge said to Li Qing, the king of Yan.
Li Qing smiled and said: "This king has led his troops to fight for more than ten years, and it is not the first time to fight, this battle is the key to our destruction of the Song Dynasty, and there is no room for sloppiness." ” "Yes, the last general understands" Zhao Ge said: "But the prince, there is something unclear about the last general, why did the prince give such a great credit to His Royal Highness King Liang for destroying the Song Dynasty."
"It doesn't matter whose credit it is."
Yan King Li Qing smiled and said: "The key is to destroy the Great Song Dynasty is the most important thing, such as the situation today is clear, my Great Xia Empire has a war in the Western Regions, we still lack the capital to fight on two fronts, we must destroy the Great Song Dynasty in the shortest possible time, let the latter concentrate all the strength to fight against the Seljuk Empire, go This king wants to be quiet alone." ” "Yes, the last general will retire," Zhao Ge said with a salute to Li Qing.
The battle to destroy the Song Dynasty is impossible to say that Li Qing's pressure is not great, although the Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo has not urged, but Li Qing can see that which of his fathers has long been impatient, the existence of the Great Song Dynasty has always been a constraint for the Great Xia Empire, so that the Great Xia Empire has to leave its main force in the eastern battlefield, the Great Song Dynasty is like a nail, and from the time when the Great Xia Empire began to expand eastward, it has been more than forty years since the war between the Song and Xia Empires, After all, this year's Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo is already sixty-five years old With the frequent mobilization of the Xia army, the entire Great Song Dynasty was busy, and the rapid loss of the Fujian Road was a fatal blow to the Great Song Dynasty, in order to collect his own heart, Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty sent Zhang Miao as the commander, leading 300,000 troops to Wenzhou to garrison, and at the same time sent part of the Jiangnan naval division to the south to cooperate with the operation, so that the number of the Song army on the Yangtze River was reduced to a certain extent.
In the palace of Jiangning Mansion in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the young Song Emperor Zhao Mao was already full of gray hair, facing the Great Song Empire under the river, Zhao Mao's heart was probably no one knew, Zhao Mao had the heart to work hard, but there was no time; And due to excessive work on state affairs, Zhao Mao is now seriously ill, if it weren't for his young body and strong bones, I'm afraid that Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty would have died a long time ago.
In the imperial study of the Great Song Palace, Zhao Mao was reviewing the chapters, and at this time, a small eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the privy envoy Prime Minister Li Gang asks to see you." ” Zhao Mao put down the Zhu pen in his hand and said, "Hurry up and invite Li Aiqing in." ” After Li Gang came in, he saluted Zhao Mao and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty." ” "Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, let's be flat," Zhao Mao said to Li Gang.
After Li Gang got up, he said: "Weichen entered the palace late at night to report to His Majesty. ” "Aiqing has nothing to say."
Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty said to Li Gang.
"Your Majesty, since the loss of Fujian Road, the situation in the DPRK and China is still unstable, although Your Majesty sent General Zhang Da to the south to lead an army of 300,000 to fight in the south, but I am afraid that Your Majesty knows the combat strength of this army better than anyone else."
Li Gang glanced at Zhao Mao without any reaction and continued: "Now that the war is rotten, I am afraid it is impossible to hold Jiangnan."
Zhao Mao's eyes glared at Li Gang sharply and said, "You mean to let me surrender to the Xia army."
"No, that's not what Wechen meant."
Li Gang said to Zhao Mao very decisively: "What Weichen means is that since Jiangnan East Road and Liangzhi Road have been known to be unable to be defended, why does Your Majesty still want to stay here, Your Majesty can make some arrangements in advance, move part of the troops, money, grain and grass to Jiangnan West Road, and continue to resist the attack of the Xia army based on Jiangnan West Road, Jinghu Road and Guangnan Road; Most of these five roads are mountainous areas, which is not conducive to cavalry and large corps battles, we can continue to consume the living force of the Xia army there, the opponent of the Xia army is not only us, there is also a Seljuk Empire, and so the main force of the Xia army and the Seljuk Empire fight to the death and regain the whole world; In addition, as far as Weichen knows, there has been a contradiction between Li Yue, the king of Shu in Great Xia, and Xia Ting, Li Yue, the king of Shu, has established himself as the king of Sichuan and Shu, and we can form an alliance with him to resist the attack of the Xia army, and His Majesty can officially canonize Li Yue as the king of Shu, in addition to the land of Sichuan and Shu, you can also entitle Hanzhong, Guanzhong and even the entire northwest region to Li Yue."
After listening to Li Gang's words, Emperor Zhao Mao asked: "I am not willing to give up Jiangnan East Road and Liangzhi Road to Xia Jun like this, Li Aiqing, what you said must be done in secret, first send the Queen Mother, the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother to Hongzhou, when the front-line army has not collapsed, I must personally sit in Jiangning." ” "Yes, Weichen commands, long live my emperor, long live, long live" Thanks to the book friend x for the eight recommendations, Tianyu is grateful, and there will be a change later, there have been too many things at home recently, and it's late:
